Tool 8: Video Resources Unlimited

I experimented with a couple of sites, the obvious youtube, but then I checked out blinx, which is the one that compiles from over 150 different sites, and then Hulu. The link below talks about childhood obesity, and how it is on the rise, and if we (Health Fitness Teachers) and others within the school including families make some changes to our curriculum, and diet from the parents then our students will be at risk of getting different kinds of disease even running a risk of death. I was even more disturbed today after discussing with other Health Fitness teachers in my district of how the legislation is trying to reduce the amount of time a child is getting physical activity from the limited time they are receiving already. It is shocking to see how they don't understand that the stress level of a child (Relieved by doing physical activity) plays a role in the child's academic level. The happier a child is the more chance of being successful they have. I strive each school year to bring my students as many different programs as possible that promote physical movement while having fun at the same time. Someone termed it "camouflage exercise" while I do not intend for it to deceive the students, but they do not even realize some of the time that they are exercising because they are having too much fun. This is intended to be fun, and our job is to motivate them to continue this healthy lifestyle after they leave us. The second video I uploaded using the embedding code was the popular dance craze that hit the scene almost a handful of years ago, known as the "Cupid Shuffle" This is actually a step to step of how to perform the dance for those that are not aware of how to do it. It is extremely simple but just like we tell the kids practice practice practice. Happy watching :)
